Professor Winfried Hensinger:
We trying to build a quantum computer. It is one of the hardest things you can possibly imagine.[Shot of interior of cabin with people inside and equipment and screens].
Building a quantum computer is really the holy grail of science, and what we’ve done today here is exhibiting what we’re going to do for the next two years. This blueprint of how to construct a large-scale device.
[Close ups of equipment, people talking and coming into the cabin].
We’re showing people how the prototype looks like, and show people how it works and so yeah I’m very excited to be part of a fantastic team. My team of the University of Sussex are going to build a quantum computer.
